Golden Yen

Early morning, I was awaken by the neighbor whom had his bike shop grand-opening. He put on a loud house music and the roaster lost its routine to call everyone wake up. A little upset with it.

So I brought my mom for breakfast. We haven't been in golden yen for years. I stop coming because of some issue (don't want to describe further).

Had glass noodles beef soup. Its glass noodles was over cook; turned out too soft. And there was a black cat wandering around my seat. I dislike animal to appear around me when having meals. It gives me a thought about the hygiene.

One Year Later and Still Counting

It is a special date for two of us. August 25th was the day we first met each other. We didn't celebrate anything special but spend more hours together. It was past the lunch hour but he hadn't had his lunch yet. He had a light bite at his client's celebration at Diski there. I followed and waited for him in the car instead. Surprisingly he smuggled two hot coffee for ourselves. 

He put on the tee which he had worn on the day we first met. I didn't but wore the same necklace on that day. Fair enough right?

We almost suspend our last task because it was pretty late already though I am not a Cinderella who had a night curfew. Oh...I do have a night curfew but I am a breaker. We were introduced by friends when I had my first tryout dinner at Warkop Elisabeth on this date last year.

Car Accident on Lebaran Day

I've been with this car since I was granted a degree from university. It is a precious reward from my father. It's not like I never had a car crashed before (had minor scratches) but this time, is the most destructive.

Right on the first day of Lebaran; the roads were so empty and how I wish Medan would be like that everyday. Medan is extremely congested these days.

I had an appointment with friends to have breakfast before heading for work. Yeah sad enough that I need to be idle in office during Lebaran whilst everyone enjoyed their long holiday - sleeping, chilling with friends or traveling. 

It was even more sad to have my car was hit by reckless driver when I parked by the roadside. He might be in real drunk. Now my car looks like some soccer board plan.

Singapore 2012

These photos stored in my computer almost for a year. I always giggling whenever see my niece in these photos. She is no doubt very active, smart and always has an unexpected way to reply you. She is incredible and adorkable. Miss her so much.

Had some ramen - Aoba (at vivo city) for lunch with my sister because she sick of Chinese food which she always had in her family. As usual of my niece, she acted like a little monkey. Hop here and there. Insisted to drink my hot matcha. Whenever her mom forced her to eat some noodles, she would making herself cough in fake and said "but I'm coughing le (in mandarin)"

I wasn't in a good condition during that time. I had a pretty bad cough and lost my voice but they didn't stop me for food hunt. Perhaps too tired. Last year, I had too much wedding invitations from his friends and mine. We were dropped dead and sick of eating the same menu.

While waiting the rain to stop, we were having Ireland's Potato which located near Bugis. There were many sauce selections. Tried one after another, we chose honey lemon. Or you can go for ketchup. Fries would never go wrong with ketchup.

I got to taste kki cake for the first time by Jenny who had walked and bought several cakes to celebrate my 27th birthday. Then this time, I had a chance to dine-in in kki cake. Tiny space with few tables for dine in. It sells some stationary as well. The atmosphere is calm and nice for chilling in humid weather.

Fried pizza which is just across from Bossini store (People's park). As I was waiting for my friends who were doing their last minute shopping. I was tempted to this pizza. Once I saw the amount of oil that were being used, I didn't want to have those oil filled in my body. But it looks good right?

These food that I would like to eat but couldn't. Blame to the cough!!! Nice to see yet couldn't taste.

A little treat despite of my worsen cough - Monster Curry. hahahaha… It was rich flavor and has various spicy selection. We chose an edible spicy. Afraid of upset stomach later. Sure will come back again in future visit. Ok time to say goodbye to Singapore.

Martabak Mini 88

Many Instagramers uploaded this cute martabak. Once I spotted its overflowing chocolate were spread over its martabak, I couldn't wait another second again. The green color stall is located at Asia Mega Mas (across from supermarket).

Lucky that I needn't to queue for long. But the owner seriously needs a helper. he is the baker ; he is the decorative ; he is the cashier and he is also the marketer. *applause to the owner*. 

I had a chance to see how the owner made the dough. Simply hatched 3 medium size eggs and whisked them until foaming. He didn't fold in the sugar as well. So the taste for its martabak is bland and not buttery rich either.

Bahrain

What did you do during the long flight? watch in-flight entertainment, doodling, or sleep for the whole trip? I usually write journal, watch movies and take picture. I was fortunate to sit by the window though I ever read some article that sitting by window (flight) isn't the best place. But it helps me to killing time.

Disappointing Experience of KNIA

I had a 3D2N vacation to Kuala Lumpur with my sister.  It was our first experience to be in Medan train station. It wasn't that poor except for its outdated train which the government bought from Japan. I couldn't say much because Indonesian couldn't manufactured their own train. We are left behind far away from other countries.

We've made our reservation on the day before and got a  cheap ticket promotion (1-way IDR 60K). 37 minutes later, we've reached the very new airport in Indonesia - Kuala Namu International Airport. It's not a great building. There are too much lack about the building and how the society doesn't take the responsibility to maintain the building as well.

Flooring

It isn't a granite and doesn't look like one, it would be even better if they use a plain ceramic instead. The floor doesn't bring out the grand and looks cheap.

Restroom

There are many restrooms in clog status. New airport yet doesn't function like one.

Smoking free

There should have a strict rules and punishment to those who smoking inside the building. foremost, in an air-con building. Nowadays many countries had ban smoking in a public area. Why couldn't it be adopted by Indonesia as well? Don't get offended if you're a smoker. It's the fact that smoking isn't good for health. It's even more unfair to us whom didn't smoke; to become your victim. 

Highways
We've seen and heard much from nearby countries on how they plan and build their roads. But we never take the lesson of it. A DIRECT highways either from City to Airport or vice verse; should be built soon to decrease traffic in suburbs. Suburbs which has been known for its congested traffic even before the new airport been launch; why we were escorted to take the route again?

Is Indonesia developing forward or reverse? =____=
